    I avoid this store whenever possible and will drive to any other UPS store if the need arrives. Every time I have visited, the manager Jaime is incredibly rude. I prefer not to patronize an establishment that makes me like I am unwanted. I realize that customer service is not an easy job, but that is not an excuse to take out your emotional stress on everyone else.

    First, I want to say that if you have an Amazon return and do not need any services or assistance then this store is perfectly adequate. Serving basically as an Amazon hub is not difficult so I will give them credit where due. However, if you need true shipping assistance then I would recommend you visit another UPS store not owned by this franchisee. I had a shipment that needed a signature and I was out of town so arranged for it to be held at this UPS store which was confirmed by my seller. I went to the counter and provided my name and the person waiting on me could not find a package. I stepped away from the counter to find the email confirmation as I could understand why they might not be able to find the package with only my name and no tracking number. Another employee stepped up and offered to help to which I declined as she would not have been able to find the package either unless I could provide some better information. Both of those employees were polite and attempted to help me. Where the experience went wrong is when the owner stepped up and said she would “take care of this”. I then provided the email confirmation with the tracking number and she said there was no package. I indicated that I had paid to have the package held to which she replied “ we are a franchise that has nothing to do with our store and that I needed to go back to the seller.” Her demeanor was dismissive, curt, and not helpful. I paid a fee to UPS for this hold. No explanation and it makes no sense. Who at UPS got the hold fee then? Maybe taking a moment to explain rather than making sure she was “in command” would have been more helpful. When I walked away I said that “ I would not do this again” meaning I would not have packages held by UPS anymore. As I walked away she made a snide remark about me to her employees laughing about the exchange. I am looking at other reviews with similar feedback on the service at this franchise. It is clear I am not the only customer who has had customer service issues and unfortunately the business responses to these reviews are equally curt, dismissive, and blame the customer.

    Every time I go into either UPS store in traverse City looking for help, they always have an excuse why they can't help me and why it's not their fault. Stick with the post office.
